BEEP

Excuse me just a moment while I check my messages ... A collection of 200-word or so phone messages left on the answering machines about Pickford. You're not only invited to read; you're invited to submit your own! GUEST AUTHORS' BEEPs ARE SHOWN IN CAPS

Disclaimer: Do not ask for whom the beep tones, it tones for thee, readers. Definitely not for me; I don't even own Phil of the Future.

Hi! This is Jill from Pickford's Famous Pictures. We're sorry you weren't happy with your movie rentals. While we can't authorize a refund, we can offer you store credit for the movies you were unsatisfied with. We really are not responsible for misleading, uh, advertisement on the part of the studios. Let's see, um, you have credit for the following titles you reported an issue with: Camp Rock, Rocky IV, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Romancing the Stone, Sand Pebbles, and the Tooth Fairy (with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), as well as, all movies of Rock Hudson, Sharon Stone, Cliff Robertson, and Mario Van Peebles. By the way, we do have an extensive collection of the Flintstones, if you'd be interested. Thanks for renting from Pickford's Famous PIctures, forever your source of fine family films.
